PAYETTE is proud to be a sponsor this year of the Equity by Design Conference in San Francisco, California, and our Director of Creative Engagement Karen Robichaud is happy to return as a guest speaker to the conference. She will present on a panel about embedding values of equity in the workplace.
Aligning Workplace Values and Project Outcomes
The goal of this session is to link equitable workplace practice to design justice and environmental justice. We will explore practice models and methods that bring equity to the design process and to project outcomes. We will hear from individuals who are doing this kind of work in practice and from individuals who are providing tools and skill-building opportunities for those who would like to bring an equitable element to their project work. Attendees will leave with discrete actionable advice, along with resources and inspiration.
Speakers:
Tiffany Brown, Smith Group
Shawn Hesse, Living Future Institute
Karen Robichaud, PAYETTE
Shalini Agrawal, Pathways to Equity
